PPC is a Statutory Body under the purview of the Ministry of Transport. As a Statutory body, PPC is responsible for the administration of Penang Port. The responsibilities carried out by PPC as set out in the Penang Port Commission Act, 1955 are to provide and maintain port and ferry service in Penang Port as well as upgrading the development and the use of the port. Penang Port is an international port strategically located in the Straits of Malacca on the North West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

Since 1 January 1994, the operations of the port and ferry services at Penang Port has been privatised to a licensed operator, i.e. Penang Port Sdn. Bhd. (PPSB) under the Ports (Privatisation) Act 1990.

In 1995, Parliament passed the amendments to the Penang Port Commission Act, 1955. These amendments enable PPC’s power and jurisdiction to be extended to other ports.

Apart from that, PPC also acts as trade facilitator, mediator and promoter of the port.
